Has he been IP before ? I know he’s had enormous amounts of suicidal thinking. I just can’t remember if he’s ever been hospitalized for it. No he has not. We've been trying to convince him to go, he feels that bad, but he refuses saying he has to much to do (school wise) I assured him that as long as he has a hospital note school would be fine. (I'm not sure of this but honestly it doesn't matter,) That they don't keep you forever, about a week is average. We have to do something 2x month therapy and every 2 months pdoc is just not enough right now. I don't know how long to wait. He's on the lowest dose possible for his meds. He wants to wait until his prescription is out in two weeks. I want to take him at least to the walk in clinic by Tuesday. Our pdoc goes slowly up on medication so even if it's changed it'll only be increased by a little when he needs something that will work faster.
